The girl at the door (Hosie)

Chpt 3.

Josie POV

I put the music in my ears to the loudest so that I can't even hear my own thoughts. Which is good because I don't want too. I don't even notice that someone was in my room until I feel the bed move. I look to see Harley and I ignore her turning my head to look out the window. It's still raining like crazy.

My earphones get taken out of my ears.
"Hey!" I Say as Harley turns off the music and tosses my phone to the side of her.
"Can we talk?" I roll my eyes and look up at the ceiling.
"Please" I sigh and look at her.

"About hope" I look deep into her eyes
"Why do you not like her?" I pause for a moment wondering if I should tell her but after all she is my best friend.
"Hope outed me to my dad with out my permission and my dad freaked because it wasn't coming from me"
"Did your dad hate you after that?"

"No thankfully he was really cool about it"
"Than what's the problem"
"Cause that's not all she did to me.." Harley raised her eyebrows.
"She Than outed me to the whole school and I started getting threats from random people but...it's a long story..." I wipe away my falling tear and Harley wraps her arms around me as snuggle into her chest.

"You don't have to tell me"
"No I do you are my best friend..." I sigh and pull away from her.
"You see I had this guy who had a crush on me and in the beginning I thought it was cute but than he went really creepy, he started following me around because I kept saying no to going out with him. Than when Hope outed me to the whole school he got really mad....like really mad...." I try and not cry but I fail and the tears start to fall. Harley wraps her arm around my shoulder.

"It was late one night and I don't know he came up from behind me and forced me into a room, I couldn't move I was so scared...he...he...he raped me..." I stuttered out between sobs.
"Oh my god" Harley completely pulls me into her and she holds me tight.

I wrap my arms around her and hold her. I bury my head into her neck as she rubs my back in small circles. I don't know how long we were like that but it was long enough for me to calm down. I slowly pull away from her as I meet her blue green eyes.

We just stared at each other until I saw her lean in just slightly as we were centimeters away from each other's lips.
"Josie.." She says and I move forward connecting our lips.

In the beginning she didn't move I thought I screwed everything up but than her lips moved against mine. She puts her hand on my face pulling me closer to her. I put my hands through her blonde curly hair pulling it back slightly. I always loved Harley's hair.

Than she break apart and connects our foreheads together.
"I don't want to take advantage of you when you are sad"
"You would never Harley"
"I'm sorry about what happened to you"
"It's ok I'm safe now" Harley smiles as I pull her in for another hug.

...............

Harley went to go check on Hope as Penelope couldn't she had art work to do and my sister has to make dinner. I on the other hand was still in my room looking at the ceiling.

I thought kissing Harley would make me feel like I had just won the lottery but it didn't, before I would die for a kiss from Harley but now I just don't know.

"Dinner!" I hear Lizzie shout and I sigh getting up. I open my door and see Penelope already running down the stairs. I laugh at her she loves food. I walk Down the stairs and I look over at the couch where I see Harley moving pieces of hair from Hopes face.

I never asked her how she knows Hope I probably should. I walk up to the kitchen pulling out some plates and putting them on the dinner table. Penelope grabs knifes and forks and puts them on the table.

"Harley get your cute ass over here!" Penelope says and Harley laughs getting up and takes her usual sit which is by Penelope. I sit next to Lizzie. Lizzie puts the roast chicken and potatoes on the table and Penelope's smiles big.

"Dig in" Lizzie says and we all help our selfs I'm not that hungry and I only have a few bites as I start to play with my food. I look at Hope from across the room.
"Josie eat" I look at Lizzie as everyone's eyes are on me. I look down at my food and I take another bite.

"Harley?" I Say and Harley shoots her head up and looks at me.
"How do you know Hope?"
"Oh..." I can see that she relaxed was she waiting for me to ask her something else.

"I met Hope at a party a few years ago, she and I got along quite well and than I don't know we just became friends"
"Is that it?"
"Yeah"
"Do know that she is a hybrid?" Harley looks at Lizzie confused.

"I guess not"
"Wait so hope is a werewolf, vampire and witch?"
"More or less yeah" I say as I think why didn't Hopes natural healing powers kick in or maybe it did and she lasted long enough to get to us. The thing is we live in La and hope stayed all the way in Australia I remember hearing her telling her friends that Australia is where she is going to college. So how the hell did she get here.

I finished my food up and so did everyone else as we all get up and put our dishes in the sink as I help Lizzie clean up. Harley goes back too hope and Penelope takes a seat on the two seater couch and turns on the tv. I sigh wiping my hands with a cloth and walking to go upstairs.

"Hope?" I hear Harley say and I turn around seeing Hope stir. I walk a little closer to the couch when Hope sits up using her hands to help her sit up. She looks at me her eyes glowing yellow as her eyes never leave me. I shallow hard not finding any strength to look away.

"Hope?" Harley repeats and hope breaks our eye contact and looks at Harley. She sits up all the way and groans. I move all the way to the couch as Lizzie and Penelope come stand by me.

"Hope are you okay?" Harley says again and hope looks at her and nods her head.
"I think so"
"What happened to you?" Penelope says
"I don't know something happened and I came here" she says
"No but what happened to you?"
"Something happened and I came here" she repeated and Harley looks us.

"What happened?"
"Something happened and I came here" I grow frustrated at her and throw my hands up in the air.
"I'm tired" she says and Harley's runs her hand through her hair.
"We aren't going to get any answers like this" Penelope says sitting back on the couch.
"Come on Hope lets get you cleaned up and you can stay in my bed" Harley's says getting up and taking Hopes hand.

"Lizzie could you get her bag" Lizzie nods grabbing Hopes bag. Hopes looks at me again watching me as she gets pulled up the stairs and soon out of view. Weird.
